During the quarter, long cycle orders from emerging (e.g. data centers, renewables, electronics, metro & railways) as well as core industry segments contributed to the growth. Most business areas posted a significant double-digit growth in orders. Process Automation had good traction in service orders which partially offset the impact of one-time large metal segment order received in Q2 CY2023. From the market side, along with power distribution solutions for a large data center, transportation, mobility and automotive segments were the key contributors. Transportation included traction technology orders from railways and metro and automotive primarily constituted robotics solutions for the EV vehicle segment. While minerals and mining seem to consolidate, metals provided traction to the order inflows. There was also solid demand for power distribution equipment from metros in two cities to metals company, and solar project in Gujarat. Export and service orders enhanced growth with precision equipment export order for a specialized chemical EPC and service order for gas insulated switchgears from energy majors for the quarter. Terminal automation system and blending solutions for energy majors also provided significant business opportunity during the quarter.
